Democracy Toolkit

The "Democracy by Design" Toolkit, developed in partnership with Alfred Herrhausen Gesellschaft (AHG), guides startups and technology companies in assessing and enhancing the democracy-friendliness of their digital innovations. This comprehensive resource helps businesses evaluate potential democratic impacts of their products and align their operations with principles that support resilient, inclusive democracy. 

The toolkit offers practical action steps, best practices, evaluation frameworks, and recognition opportunities for companies committed to democratic values. By focusing on fairness, traceability, human control, and robust technical infrastructure, the Democracy Toolkit enables businesses to position themselves as socially responsible pioneers while strengthening democratic ecosystems through their technological developments. 

By embracing these tools, individuals and organizations can take concrete steps to protect and strengthen democratic processes in an increasingly complex digital environment.
